Reviews of Fisher-Price Power Wheels 12-Volt Rechargeable Battery

1.) Batteries work fine
Reviewed by: DadOf3 NY

The battery will work fine for 2-3 seasons provided you keep it charged.
My kids have enjoyed these for years, A new battery will last most of the day, and I do have hills. By the third season the charge won't hold very long.

The quickest way to ruin lead-acid batteries is to discharge them deeply and leave them stand "dead" for an extended period of time. When they discharge, there is a chemical change in the positive plates of the battery. They change from lead oxide when charged to lead sulfate when discharged. If they remain in the lead sulfate state for a few days, some part of the plate does not return to lead oxide when the battery is recharged. If the battery remains discharged longer, a greater amount of the positive plate will remain lead sulfate. The parts of the plates that become "sulfated" no longer store energy. Batteries that are deeply discharged, and then charged partially on a regular basis can fail in less than one year.

Trying to find this battery for my sons jeep .. well lets just say that it is so much easier to look on line. It was cheaper thru the mail then at the stores. We only had to wait a week. It was great I would do it all over again if I had to.

Thanks

I was not in favor of buying our first one but I WAS WRONG! It has been a great battery. My grandkids have worn out one, about 4 years worth. And we have bought a second one. The battery has served very well for 4 years before needing replacement, longer than my car's battery!

all toys need maintenance, and this toy needed a new battery. I wanted a battery that replaced the exact battery that came out of the jeep, which I found on Amazon. I ordered it and now the jeep is ready to go.

The only negative thing is how long it took to receive the battery. We waited about a month before it was shipped. Try explaining that every day to a 4 yr old why she couldn't ride her beach car.

I bought this for my son's MX3 mini-bike. I have only had it for a few weeks, but if it lasts like the other battery (almost 4 years) then it is worth the fun the kids have with the ride on toys.

Got the white battery with grey top. Has been working as expected. The 3 yr old boy has been riding the powerwheel car with a fully charged battery for about 1 hr after a full charge. As indicated, we fully charge the battery after every other 1 hr ride and it delivers all the power to leave the boy happy for an hr.

My youngest daughter never got much of a chance to use the family 'Barbie Jeep' because the old battery wuoldn't hold much of a charge. The decsion to either throw away the jeep or buy a new battery was tought. No 'off source' batteries were available but the real Fisher Price one works great!

22.) This battery works just fine after all
Reviewed by: yadax3 Nevada USA
Rating:
I felt pretty stupid when, after reading several bad reviews here, I bought this battery anyway and it only ran for 5 minutes after recharging it the first time. My husband tested the charger to ensure it was functioning properly and then took the battery to a local battery specialty store for testing, which confirmed the battery was perfectly fine. Then upon returning home he discovered the switch on the power bar on the back of his workbench had been accidently flipped to the off position. Our original and back up batteries have both been recharging and functioning perfectly ever since.

I'm posting this review as a reminder to other people to check every possibility, including having the battery tested, before assuming their battery is bad.

23.) Be Careful On Over Charging This Battery

I purchased this battery in 2004 for my sons Kawasaiki power wheel. The charge is not holding any longer. This started happening a couple of months ago. I believe I inadvertently over charged the battery. Either I over charged it and/ or the battery only last a couple of years.

24.) Replacement Battery Works Great
Reviewed by: Mischelle Delaware

We bought this to replace the one that came with the ride on toy. The original one was dropped and sustained a small dent in the side of the battery and it never seemed to hold a powerful charge again. This one works fine. Would suggest being careful with the battery since they are not terribly durable!

25.) Battery a dud
Reviewed by: mom of 3 Austin, TX

After charging the battery twice, it lost it's charge. My son received a ride on for Christmas and the first battery went out within 3 months and I had to buy him a replacement. We followed all the directions on how to long charge it, etc. and still - dead. Second one in 4 months. It's too much money to keep replacing the battery so my son can ride the 4 wheeler with trailer. Poor kid.

Battery was purchased as a replacement for a Fisher Price Barbie Mustang, we have charged and used the new battery only twice and the battery had already run down and we had to "hand tow" the vehicle home about a half a mile in our neighborhood, as the battery died, wish Fisher Price would improve the life of this product and rechargeable quality. This product is expensive for the life of the battery. We followed instructions of not allowing the battery to "die", we recharge after use, but still the battery life is not long enough for a child to drive the vehicle around the neighborhood, very disappointed.

27.) Power Wheels Batteries are a Joke.
Reviewed by: R. Hull North Lima, OH USA
Rating:
Using the stock battery in your new Powerwheels will ultimately lead to a large disappointment. The battery is a simple Sealed lead acid battery. The same kind as you find in a battery backup unit for your PC.

The stock battery will only last about 10 minutes of continuous level ground use. Start adding small hills and start/stops and it goes down even further.

Plus the charger that comes from Fisher Price is a joke too. There is no over-charge protection available, and if you forget about it while charging, you'll ruin the $60 battery.

Do yourself a favor and buy an aftermarket battery for those Powerwheels. You can buy them at a much higher run-time as well, and this allows you to spend more time with the kids playing, rather than charging batteries.

You can buy a regular car charger for the new battery, and it will not only charge faster (2 hours compared to the stock 18 hour recharge time) but it will last longer since there is no chance of over-charging. You could buy the battery and charger for less than this stock battery with fisher price's logo slapped on it.

Check out this site. It covers all types of modifications and upgrades for Power Wheels. Improved runtime, speed, you name it.

28.) I have bought four....never again!!
Reviewed by: LordToT Laredo, TX

I have bought four of these batteries. I feel like a fool after reading so many bad reviews. Please look for an alternative. Out of the four batteries I have not gotten 20 hours of use. It is sad that a company as Fisher Price would sell such a mediocre product. The ride on is nice, please look for an alternative on replacing the batteries.

Product worked one time (just fine) and then never worked again. Called/wrote to get an exchange and company stated that there were no exchanges or refunds on batteries. Very very lame. Still working on getting money back or exchange of product. Buy at your own risk!

30.) fun for a couple of days

This battery was great for about two charge cycles...I charged it 18 hours the first time like the instructions said to do. Jeep ran great for about the expected two hours or so...Charged it again that night for 14 hours...ran great again...The third day, I charged it for 14 hours again and hooked it up to the jeep and NOTHING ...I followed all of the instructions to a T. What a piece of JUNK. Power Wheels should be ashamed of themselves for selling such an awful product and doing nothing about it.

31.) I should have listened to the feedback and not bought it

THIS WAS A BUST. I purchased this to replace the original battery that came with my daughter's Barbie Jeep. The original battery lasted about 3 years and worked very well before running out of juice. I read several reviews that concerned me saying that the replacement battery went dead very very quickly. Well, that's exactly what happened to me . . . I read and followed the instructions closely, in terms of how long to charge initially, and then subsequent charging as well. We got about 3 charges out of it, and that's it. I ended up throwing away the Jeep, and I'm taking this battery and the original battery to the dump, where they have a station to recycle old batteries. Amazon cannot take this product back . . since it is a hazardous material (acid), but, kudos to them, they credited me the purchase right away. I don't know what to tell you on this one . . . it could be the batteries they have are old shelf batteries; it could be something wrong with our Jeep itself. . . BUT . . . if it can happen to me (and others that I read about), then it can happen to you. We're going to purchase an upgraded vehicle from here and not fool around with replacement batteries anymore. GOod luck.
